Iconic Port Stephens Institution

Due to their close proximity, the owners have a strong relationship with both local fishermen and the Co-op. Fishermen prefer to sell direct to Fishermen’s Wharf Seafoods rather than sending to Sydney as they enjoy higher profit margins.

Universal Appeal

The business currently operates profitably ‘under management’ with an experienced team managing both the main income streams on a day to day basis.

The owners were able to take over the business 14 years ago with little retail seafood experience. They have enjoyed making it more profitable and living in Nelson Bay over the peak summer months and public holidays. At other times they can work remotely from Sydney via phone and internet.

Fishermen’s Wharf Seafoods is a business opportunity that would suit experienced owner/operators, family businesses and hands-off investors alike. The business is easy to operate because it is currently profitable under management and could easily continue this way. However, if you decide to be more hands-on, the opportunities are huge.

The current owners have assured us of a smooth transition for the purchaser. This may include two weeks of on-site training and assistance in planning for the summer peak period.
